Hi Metallifucks! Jan 23rd would have been the 38th birthday of my dear friend Paul K Manzo II (aka “Motorcity Sanitarium”) and I know if he had beaten the cancer he had been battling for so long he would be hounding the shit out of me & Dave to make it up to see Jason Newsted play again with Metallica when they are inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at Public Hall in Cleveland Ohio on April 4th!

So in the memory of Paul and to also show appreciation for Metallica offering an “olive branch” out to Jason I will try my best to upload a bulk of my Metallica Master recordings between now and the anniversary of his passing 6 months later. Please no requests as I want to do it on my own terms.

The Third show I want to offer is from Freedom Hall in Johnson City, Tennessee that is basically a high school gym….. so the “snakepit” stage setup took up almost all of the floor…… there was only about 20 feet between the front point of the stage and Big Mick at the soundboard!

Clifford Lee “Cliff” Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was an American musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the American heavy metal band Metallica.

Burton joined the band in 1982 and performed on its debut studio album, Kill ‘Em All. He performed on two more Metallica albums, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, both of which met with major commercial and critical success. Burton was known for his “lead bass” approach, in which the bass played a melodic and soloist role, in addition to holding down the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of the band.

On September 27, 1986, Burton died when the band’s tour bus over-turned in rural southern Sweden. Burton was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Metallica on April 4, 2009.
